WOOL CONSUMPTION AND DUTIES
OPPOSITION TO A RANDALL SCHEME.

FACTS AND FIGURES ABOUT THE WOOL TRADE
OPENING WIDE DOOR TO FRAUD.
WASHINGTON, JAN 27.-Mr. Randall proposes to
admit free of duty woods Of he third class known as
carpet wool and the proposition is strongly opposed
by of his associates from Ohio. They are in the
right. There many sound objections TO the pro
pos A. There il no such broad line of demarcation
between tho different kinds of wool that eItter the
Treasury officials tho importers, or ANYBODY else
can determine with certainty whether bale Of wool
imported Is carpet wool not. For there Ia nothing
10 prevent part of the wool called being used IN
other branches of the manufacture. The fact Is that
much of the imported CARPET wool has been so used
directly cou being wi b wool of American growth
The the which the present act Is franed ana on
which the remission of the duty on carpet wool Is
proposed is that imported wool OF that class does not
compete with ans wool Of American growth, but the
fact il that wool imported does compete 10 an I'M
porant extent 81 utting out from consumption IKE
quantity of American wool, As the growers In this
country well know.
II il also an objection that the proposed change
wonld open 20 wide a door fraud that the Goyern-
ment might about as we'll abolish all duties on i'm
ported wool Mr. Randall does not venture to propose
tnat. He knows that IL would ruin his party to enact
such measure Yet he does propose To admit free III
duty wool vaguely designated as sarpet wool, whieh
no man surely distinguish from wool intended for
other uses Treasury oil cias disposed TO favor I'M
porter-. with such power ~ this feature OF the law
would give them, would practically break down and
destroy the entire sy-tem of wool du les in single
year far those duties serve to shelter Ame-
can growers against foreigr competition.
In proof of these statements, and rs casting light
upon tue fvorte arguments Of those who oppose
duties on wool let few ii lures he submitted. In the
following statement, the estimates of wool produced
each year in the United State, are taken from the
annual circulars of james Lynch The figures are for
calendar wears, and the quantities imported and e1-
ported during each calendar year have been ascer-
tanned from oics! reports except for ihe year 1850,
of which the fun report is not yet published omcinl
returns given of imports aud exports of wool for
eleven months of 1886, showing net imports of lO',
lO5 10 ponds. Ii Is ten assumed that the imports
for December were lller than those Of Decem-
Der 1885 which were officially reported 10. o..
354 pounns The Aggregate consumption OF wool In
this country undoubtedly varies some what from the
quantities thus ascertaiued, oy ADDING mo reporter

arc carried from 10 year by the manuihot-
urcrs In the following table The last column repre-
SCENTS the consumption Of wool each year per capita
